I did see a thread about this in this forum.. I know how to scale 
note velocities, but it does remove some dynamic range.  What happens 
with notes with velocities >100?

Well, that's going to be 0 and 127, because the whole idea is to 
utilize already-edited piano sequences.

Probably true.. I have a very good controller, a Yamaha KX88, driving 
a superb Kurzweil piano sample.. but it isn't the same.  So..

QUESTION: I know, since I've done it, that the files created by 
playing on and saving to the Disklavier's floppy drive are 
called .MID.  Has anyone ever taken THESE MIDI recordings and worked 
them over in a computer sequencer, and brought them back to the 
Disklavier for audio recording?  We know it can READ DOS half and hi 
density (1.4MB) floppies.  What is the DISK format of floppies 
written by the Disklavier?  

Just full of questions..

thanks
